Mission 1, Day 52: Stats don't lie
Today was the day I do my measurements and it is always an exciting day for me. I love to see the results I've produced and I've even learned to enjoy the discovery of bad results just so that I can modify my plan of attack if necessary. The results today are as follows:
| Item | Measurement |
| Current Weight (lbs) | 226 |
| Previous Weight (lbs) | 227 |
| Goal Weight (lbs) | 230 |
| Variance to previous (lbs) | -1 |
| Variance to goal (lbs) | -4 |
| Current Body Fat % | 15.5% |
| Previous Body Fat % | 16.0% |
| Goal Body Fat % | 16.6% |
| Variance to previous | -0.5% |
| Variance to goal | -1.0% |
| Current LBM (lbs) | 190.97 |
| Previous LBM (lbs) | 190.68 |
| Goal LBM (lbs) | 192.05 |
| Variance to previous (lbs) | +0.29 |
| Variance to goal (lbs) | -1.37 |
This is the lowest my weight has been since my back surgery and my body fat percentage continues to drop. The change I made in going to the Metabolic Surge nutrition plan is working for me.
I will be posting a new podcast tomorrow night. Look for that.
Until tomorrow...
Great job Michael! One question though, why is your goal bf% of 16.6% higher than your current bf% of 15.5%?
p.s. Thank you for the advice on deadlifts and camera settings. I knew I could count on you!

Lilla, Great question and here's the answer...I planned out those goals on 11/10/2007 and broke them down week by week so that I could hit my ultimate goal--13.0% body fat by 2/3/2007. My plan was to decrease 0.5% in body fat every week for 12 weeks. My goal is to weigh 230 pounds and have 13.0% body fat on 2/3/2007. That will give me 200 pounds of LBM. I'm not sure I will hit the LBM goal, but the body fat percentage goal is looking very possible. Thanks for the encouragement!
